The erstwhile utopian vision of the Internet as a place where people can do as they wish without consideration for others and without repercussions died a painful death when the reality of the ugly way too many people actually behave online set it.

It’s time to change direction and create the Internet we want to have for the next one-hundred years.

We need a global movement that transforms the Internet from an insidious playground of harassment and hate to an online culture that embraces #RadicalCivility.

What is #RadicalCivility?

Making a conscious decision to help stop the epidemic of harassment, hostility and hatred online

Realizing we live in the real world where our behavior has ripple effects

Refusing to spread negativity and hatred around like a contagion

Helping create an online culture where people can fully engage and contribute without fear or threat of being the target of abuse, harassment, or lies
